Have always wanted to try out the Susur Lee’s restaurants and particularly the much hyped Singapore Slaw. When this place opened I had made a note of it to visit.
Reached a bit late for lunch and therefore no long
lineups. Was going to have the salad a bit later so opted for the prepackaged but not mixed together salad. Comes in a neat little container with Fried Rice Noodles, Pickled Ginger, Plum Dressing, slaw carrots, fried taro slaw, jicama and quite a few other stuff all packed in a container. And yes peanuts.
Having a sign that there is a vegan “chicken” dish made with tempeh, peaked my interest and took a side of that as well. Not sure if it is normal, but not only they had tempeh but also a chickpea and green pea dish topped up. Which made it a bit difficult to know what was what.
The salad absolutely perfect with so many ingredients and textures. The dressing not so good - a bit too sweet for my taste. Even though I put 3/4 of the dressing it was way too much sweet. Would have preferred a more balanced palate. I could have that salad no dressing without any complaints whatsoever.
The tempeh pieces amazing. The chickpeas and green peas were as I called it al-dente. Had a bit of a crunch to it. Loved it. Not sure which of the two had pineapple though. Which made some spoonful - sweet! Again disappointing for me.
$20 for take out lunch also is on the high side in a food court makes it a bit out of reach.
